    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You will need fulfillment facility in the EU. My guess is by 2021, there will be plenty of companies offering to do that for you. I'll be in France by then, may be you'd give me a job :)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    not really. Most of the FT deals can be done via the EU like usual, after all, it's a collective bargaining. Wherever GB may have a competitive edge, is in investment, capital and people movement. they don't interfere with the external duty. Even if a FTA between GB and a third country results...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there may be a grain of truth in that statement. However you see 'taking back control' as it will turn out after the transition period, the daily life of most people won't change because of that. We have had wage stagnation for a decade, would anyone notice 0.5% growth difference a year between...

    More Power from Impulse 2 motor.

    4bound, that's the downside of a torque sensor system. The rider has to input at least 25% of the required energy to maintain speed. the only way to reduce her input other than getting a more suitable bike is to reduce speed.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    remainers put too much importance on the economic hit for leaving the SM and CU after the transition period. I don't think many would notice the changes in their daily life. For most, they'll accept that there is a price for taking back control. The people who would be affected are those who...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if you do a bit of export, you'd like to stay in the SM or CU. If you import, the issue does not affect you one way or the other. As around 83% of businesses don't export at all (eg hairdressers, groceries, plumbers etc), the issue of staying in SM or CU is more a political than practical one...

    Do you know the rpm rating of chinese 500w direct drive motors?

    mid drive is a good choice for the Nexus 3 but you are more or less restricted to the Bafang BBS01B or Tongsheng TSDZ2. Any more power may be too much for the Nexus 3. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?cdkit In your opening post, you were talking about a 500W direct drive motor. They are usually hub...

    Can i use bafang LCD controller on another LED type bafang set?

    your assist levels won't work. Speedometer won't work. You can turn the bike on/off, that's about it. LCD uses UART (digital protocol), LED panels analog. Never the twain shall mix.

    Do you know the rpm rating of chinese 500w direct drive motors?

    are you saying you have autoshift on your Nexus 3? I haven't heard of this.

    Do you know the rpm rating of chinese 500w direct drive motors?

    you don't see maximum RPM (aka noload speed) quoted for direct drive motors. This is because they can be so high that it cannot be met when mounted on a bike. You need to start with the controller. If the controller is a 36V 20A (typically fitted to a 500W direct drive motor), the maximum speed...

    Surprised that not more people on this forum have B'Twin ebikes

    hi rower, you have two Decathlon branches nearby, that's a good enough reason to choose one of their bikes. For many who do not live near a Decathlon branch, they would have to compare the Decathlon bikes against others on the internet. Take their Elops 940 for example, Shimano Steps (the low...

    The perfect kit

    you misunderstand the 250W specification. It is 'maximum continuous rating'. It is tested under labs conditions, measured at the motor's spindle as mechanical output at 25kph, after allowing 10% for road/tyres friction loss. There is no gradient or headwinds in the labs. The electric assistance...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's the euro and eurozone that is the bugbear of brexiters. Hard brexiters accept as given that the Euro is about to collapse and the EU will force all the 8 countries currently not in the eurozone (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Sweden) to join the...

    you want a motor with a gearbox in it?

    may be because Rohlhoff charge more for their E-14 alone than the mechanical bike costs?
